Hello All,

I'm successful in creating a table whose rows can be added dynamically by click of a button. Now the problem I'm facing is:

The rows gets added till the page border and stops adding afterwards (or rather it adds but not visible) I want that table rows to continue to the next pages when it fills the current page. Can i do this. Meaning Table should flow across pages...

A code snippet will be of great help...

Thanks in advance
Deepak.

Hi deepusrp,

There is no code needed to do this. You need to wrap the table in a subform and set the parent subform for the whole form to "flow."

Hope this helps,

Hello Dimitri,

I got the solution to my problem. But the thing is, if I make the main form as Flowed, then all the form elements gets closer and actual design gets disturbed.

The functionality is working. Can I retain my form design as in Positioned mode along with this floating behavior.

Thanks for ur reply

Deepak

Hi deepusrp,

Check to see if the subform is set to Keep with Previous or Next in the Object pallet under the Pagination tag. If those are checked, uncheck them and see if that gives you the result you want.

Hope this helps,

Hello Dimitri,

:( ... Its not working...

Actually, that subform's properties were unchecked (prev and next). I even tried it by checking them. Even then its not working. If you dont mind and if you want i'll mail the form so that you can have a better idea.

The thing is, what ever the status of the checkboxex, when the page's property is changed from 'positioned' to 'flowed' all the elemets position gets disturbed. I want to have the elements inplace with content flowable.

Please guide me

Deepak

Hello All,

I found one alternative solution. We have rectangle object in the developer. We can use that to fill the empty space and making their border as none. So the required orientation can be acheived with the proper usage of rectangles.

if any one has any alternative please suggest me.

Thanks
Deepak
